I wanted to promote my book this morning, but this happened.
So I will take today to mourn, and wonder how and why this happened in a small town in British Columbia.

Friday is #coffeeshopday!
My favourite is The Grind on St. Clair West, Toronto. Independent, great folks, nice atmosphere and if I get there before the crowd I can settle in for a nice long write in my preferred corner table.
10/10 recommended!

Thursday. The day of doom. The day of despair. The day where I must venture forth to a Doctor's appointment by transit, during rush hour.
Well, this should be fun. Think I'll go write something.

Wednesday. The malaise is lifting. I can once more focus on the horror show AKA the world.
On the bright side, I'm also able to write and hit the gym.
Had a good talk about goals with my PT. It's going to be a long road, but at least I know where it is going.

Post-physio malaise, this morning. Pushed hard, got good results, feel like I've been hit by a truck.
Someone should order one of my books and make me feel better.

It is Wednesday, and I am grumpy. It is obviously the fault of the universe and not my own for having stayed up too late because my mood can't possibly the consequences of my own actions, can it?
Yeah, that was rhetorical. Sigh.

Been sorting out my schedule and realized I spend 1.5 hours/day on physio. It's working, but it explains why I feel I'm short of time.
Today's writing goal, 2000 words. Let's see if I can hit it.
